"Unlucky"?

I can go buy one the same as you or anyone else. I've owned three of them by the way.
I have no need for 14,000 useless apps.
I need a phone that makes & receives calls.
No voicemail, no texting, no downloading, no bullshit.
Just a goddamned phone. And it's getting hard to find them.

I sit at a computer "bridge" (because it looks like something off the fucking Enterprise), for 20 hours a day 7 days a week. I do not want to walk around with a little rectangular piece of tech in my pocket that continues to connect me to that shit after I've walked away.

I feel people that do, are "unlucky" because they are unable to unplug even for an hour or two. If I want to stay connected when I go out.... it takes 4 seconds to unjack my laptop, stuff it in a bag and go.

"Unlucky".... ? Or "wise"? I feel no need to plunk down that kinda money on something just because the ones that have, have decreed it a necessity to be "cool".

I'm doin' just fine here with my regular no-nonsense phone and my computers.
(and as a real world comparison, I can buy 7 1TB OEM HDDs for my rackmount data cluster for what ONE iPhone costs.)
